RARE - NS Long Hood Forward SD40-2 pulling Caboose = Mentor OH - Wed Feb 27th, 2019

By the way, the SD40-2 is a Freeze-Beater. That means is has the feature that no fuel lines will freeze up.

You need a night vision camcorder.. i could see it on my 48 inch sony though.

Got any further information on that?

Ricko, sorry for the video. Mr freind told me this train was coming and I had no choice but to use my phone. Very short time to respond to this train. With that said, try to enjoy the video.

No apology needed Tom, but it only takes a second to rotate your phone horizontally.

Found this...

Thanks. That makes a LOT more sense, i.e. a stand-by, plug-in electrical heating & circulating system to keep the coolant from freezing. Nothing to do with fuel lines, directly.

No problem Rick. Just didn't have my regular camcorder with me to get this train, so the phone was all I had to do.

Thanks Tom, Always interesting stuff up there in Ohio.
